ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Different organizations have recommended changes in life support in the COVID-19 pandemic, just when maintaining the competence in cardiopulmonary resuscitation is compromised because on-site training must be avoided. We developed a pilot teaching-learning experience to promote cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills acquisition in this situation. The aim of this study was to describe that tool and to analyze its usefulness.METHODS:
The experience consisted of three phases first, reviewing the scientific literature; second, defining written local recommendations and recording a short video simulating the initial attention to a cardiac arrest in this COVID-19 context; third, creating a test to be answered by hospital health professionals.RESULTS:
The final sample was 121 subjects; 66.1% were women; the mean age was 45.8 years (SD = 10.24). Among them, 43% were doctors, 43% nurses, 4.1% nursing assistants, and 9.9% others. 89.3% participants had received prior training in life support. In the test, questions 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 were answered correctly by more than 80%; questions 3 and 4 were answered correctly by 57.9% and 41.3%, respectively. All participants expressed that the video helped them to refresh their knowledge and skills in life support.DISCUSSION:
When on-site training is not possible, distance learning-as in our teaching-learning innovation because of the COVID-19 pandemic-may be a valid option to acquire/refresh cardiopulmonary resuscitation skills.
